1. GETTING STARTED What s In The Box? 1 x HushPar Theatrik LED PAR Fixture This Lovely User Manual Getting It Out Of The Box Congratulations on purchasing one of the coolest LED Par fixtures anywhere! Now that you re the proud owner of a HushPar Theatrik (or hopefully, MORE!), you should carefully unpack the box and check the contents to ensure that all parts are present and in good condition. If anything looks as if it has been damaged in transit, notify the shipper immediately and keep the packing material for inspection. Again, please save the carton and all packing materials. If a fixture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing. Powering Up! All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch. AC Voltage Switch - Not all fixtures have a voltage select switch, so please verify that the fixture you receive is suitable for your local power supply. See the label on the fixture or refer to the fixture s specifications chart for more information. A fixture s listed current rating is its average current draw under normal conditions. Check the fixture or device carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection switch exists that it is set to the correct line voltage you will use. Warning! Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit matches the line voltage applied. Damage to your fixture may result if the line voltage applied does not match the voltage indicated on the voltage selector switch. All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Ground (Earthing). Getting A Hold Of Us If something is wrong, just give us a call or send an email. We ll be happy to help, honest.

3. SETUP Fuse Replacement CAUTION! The HushPar Theatrik utilizes a high-output switch-mode power supply with an internal fuse. Under normal operating conditions, the fuse should not require replacement. The fuse is field replaceable, however it is an advanced procedure suited to qualified individuals. Should your HushPar Theatrik fuse require replacement, please contact Blizzard Lighting for instructions, or to return your unit for service. Mounting & Rigging Slide the barn door assembly into the grooves on the front of the fixture. (optional) Securely connect the power cable to a power socket. Dimming can be achieved via the use of a conventional AC dimmer pack. This fixture may be mounted in any SAFE position provided there is enough room for ventilation. It is important never to obstruct cooling vents pathway. Mount the fixture using a suitable C or O type clamp. The clamp should be rated to hold at least 10x the fixture s weight to ensure structural stability. Do not mount to surfaces with unknown strength, and ensure properly rated rigging is used when mounting fixutres overhead. Adjust the angle of the fixture by loosening both knobs and tilting the fixture. After finding the desired position, retighten both knobs. Safety cables MUST ALWAYS be used. Never mount in places where the fixture will be exposed to rain, high humidity, extreme temperature changes or restricted ventilation.

Keeping Your HushPar Theatrik As Good As New The fixture you ve received is a rugged, tough piece of pro lighting equipment, and as long as you take care of it, it will take care of you. That said, like anything, you ll need to take care of it if you want it to operate as designed. You should absolutely keep the fixture clean, especially if you are using it in an environment with a lot of dust, fog, haze, wild animals, wild teenagers or spilled drinks. Cleaning the optics routinely with a suitable glass cleaner will greatly improve the quality of light output. Keeping the cooling vents free of dust and debris will keep the fixture running cool and prevent damage from overheating. In transit, keep the fixtures in cases. You wouldn t throw a prized guitar, drumset, or other piece of expensive gear into a gear trailer without a case, and similarly, you shouldn t even think about doing it with your shiny new light fixtures. Common sense and taking care of your fixtures will be the single biggest thing you can do to keep them running at peak performance and let you worry about designing a great light show, putting on a great concert, or maximizing your client s satistfaction and wow factor. That s what it s all about, after all! Returns (Gasp!) We ve taken a lot of precautions to make sure you never even have to worry about sending a defective unit back, or sending a unit in for service. But, like any complex piece of equipment designed and built by humans, once in a while, something doesn t go as planned.

Just send an email to support@blizzardlighting.com, and we ll issue you an RA. Then, you ll need to send the unit to us using a trackable, pre-paid freight method. We suggest using USPS Priority or UPS. Make sure you carefully pack the fixture for transit, and whenever possible, use the original box & packing for shipping.
